Central Catchment Nature Reserve

The Central Catchment Nature Reserve (; (マレー語:Pusat Tadahan Alam Rizab); (タミル語:மத்திய நீர்ப்பிடிப்பு இயற்கை ரிசர்வ்)) is the largest nature reserve in Singapore, occupying 2880 hectares〔('Nature Reserves' ), National Parks Board, retrieved 5 June 2009.〕 Forming a large green lung in the geographical centre of the city, it houses several recreational sites, including the Singapore Zoo, the Night Safari and the River Safari, as well as several newer facilities built to encourage public appreciation of the reserve, such as the HSBC TreeTop Walk.
It is one of the four gazetted nature reserves in Singapore. The other three are the Labrador Nature Reserve〔(''Labrador Nature Reserve'' ), National Parks Board Website, retrieved 4 June 2009.〕 which was gazetted since 1 January 2002, Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve〔(''Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve'' ), National Parks Board Website, retrieved 4 June 2009.〕 and Bukit Timah Nature Reserve.〔(''Protecting Our Natural Heritage: Gazette of Nature Reserves'' ), Convention on Biological Diversity, retrieved 4 June 2009.〕 All four nature reserves along with the parks are protected under the Parks & Trees Act 2005.
The nature reserve acts as a catchment area for the surrounding reservoirs. The country's main reservoirs – MacRitchie, Upper Seletar, Upper Peirce and Lower Peirce – are in the central catchment area.〔(''Bukit Timah Nature Reserve'' ), National Parks Board, retrieved 4 June 2009.〕
Most forests in Central Catchment Nature Reserve were cleared for logging and cultivation unlike Bukit Timah Nature Reserve, which remain relatively undisturbed. The Central Catchment Nature Reserve now consists of a mixture of young and mature secondary forests with virgin primary forest surrounding the reservoirs.〔(''Singapore Parks'' ), Wild Life Asia, retrieved 4 June 2009.〕
== Attractions ==
Bordering MacRitchie reservoir are remnants of rubber plantations from the 19th century. Walkways and boardwalks in the reserve, which range from 3 to 11 kilometres long, allow visitors to enjoy a closer feel to nature. The reserve is also visited by hikers and trekkers due to its terrain and scenery. A hike can lead to the nearby Bukit Timah Nature Reserve.
